Two boys threw bricks at a house in Old Goole, smashing an 11-year-old girl's bedroom window.

Two boys threw bricks at a house in Old Goole on Tuesday evening, smashing an 11-year-old girl's bedroom window, according to BBC Humberside. The girl, who is blind and requires round-the-clock care, was sitting in her adapted recliner in her ground-floor bedroom when the incident occurred at about 17:50 GMT. The brick came through the window and landed at the side of her, leaving her surrounded by glass.

Her mother, Abbie, 30, said she heard a 'massive bang' while making tea in the kitchen and ran to her daughter's room to find the brick had also caused damage to the bedroom wall. Abbie, who is pregnant, had to get help from her partner and his family to safely move her daughter out of the bedroom. She called police and ambulance services and contacted social services to find suitable accommodation for her daughter to sleep.

Humberside Police said they were investigating the incident and asked anyone with information to get in touch. CCTV footage showed two boys throwing two bricks at the window.
